OBERTAN AGONY IS OVER

By Neil Ashton, 10/10/2009

GABRIEL OBERTAN is finally poised to make his Manchester United debut later this month.

The France Under-21 international has been in full training this week after finally recovering from a spinal injury.

Obertan signed for United in the summer, but has yet to make an appearance because of problems with his injury.

The former Bordeaux winger stepped up his training last week and Sir Alex Ferguson is paving the way for his inclusion in the squad in the next few weeks.

Obertan can play in a number of positions, but his future at United is likely to be on the wing.

He signed on a four year contract from Bordeaux in the summer for £3million but missed the club's pre-season tour of Asia.

Obertan, 20, spent his first three months at Old Trafford in rehabilitation but is close to making his first start for United.

He is a wonder boy, I thinh he as sold cheapley because of the injury he had and was not detected in France.

Expecting a lot from him though I hope he will not be a replacement for Nani
